Chapter 4
----

In the ward, Xiang Han was lying in bed with a weak and pale face.
  
The system was still chattering in his head: [Mr. Xiang, I only left for a while. How did you get yourself into this mess? Was there a problem with the instant noodles? According to my analysis, a small amount of preservatives should not lead to such severe consequences...]
  
The doctor stood next to Xiang Han and was scolding: "Don't you know that you have a chronic stomach ulcer? Not only did you not take care of yourself, but drinking on an empty stomach and eating spicy food, do you not want your life anymore? This disease is serious, so it is possible for it to lead to cancer ..."
  
Lu Ze stood by the side, his expression sinking.
  
The system was relieved: [So the problem was from the original host.]
  
Xiang Han was filled with grief: [Didn't you check the physical condition of the original host before?]
  
In the end, the original host was just a cannon fodder. Having such a minor issue of stomach problems was not significant enough to be written in the script.
  
The system was very embarrassed: [Sorry ah, Mr. Xiang, we didn't think about it before. I'll go apply for permission from the admiral- I mean, Mr. Dean.]
  
[Go go.] Xiang Han was feeling unwell again and didn't notice system's change in topic
  
On the other hand, Lu Ze was also affected by the doctor and glared at him. Xiang Han felt somewhat guilty and after the doctor left, he immediately pretended to be asleep.
  
In Lu Ze's view, the young man lying in bed was pale and thin, his sharp chin covered by the blanket and his expression seemed tired. He slowly walked towards the bed with a complicated gaze.
  
Lu Ze had already seen the tickets that Xiang Han bought. Its destination was a remote town in the southern province and it would take at least 15 hours by bus.
  
He thought that because he had offended Zhao Handong, he had to leave. Silly, even unwilling to take the high-speed rail and in order to save money, merely ate a few packets of instant noodles. Didn't he know that it was bad for his stomach?
  
The young master Lu who had just been expelled from the Lu family probably did not know that although the price of the porridge on the roadside stalls was similar to instant noodles, they had a higher nutritional value. As for Xiang Han's failure to buy the high-speed rail tickets, it was completely system's fault. It had not collected enough information and only found a long-distance bus station. Although it was also very economical for Xiang Han, this matter actually did not have anything to do with saving money.
  
Lu Ze, of course, did not know this because the high-speed railway station and the long-distance bus station were merely a street apart. Therefore, he concluded that in order to save money, Xiang Han could not bear to take the high-speed rail. And his reason for leaving was also because, in order to help him, he ended up offending Zhao Handong.
  
Lu Ze's eyes were dark as he thought of how Xiang Han's weak body had shrunk against the wall earlier and his heart felt a sharp pain. How could such a foolish lover who cared so much for him be the greedy person Sun Shuya said? Moreover, Xiang Han himself had been born into poverty, how could he be afraid of living a hard life together?
  
When he thought of the scene at the bar, he wondered how he had not seen through Xiang Han's acting and almost believed Sun Shuya's words. Lu Ze's heart was filled with regret.
  
If he had taken Xiang Han away at the time, this fool would not have offended Zhao Handong, be forced to escape and finally land himself in the hospital. Fortunately, he had found out in time and did not make a bigger mistake. Lu Ze felt it was fortunate.
  
Xiang Han did not know that in just a few minutes, Lu Ze's train of thoughts had already flown in this direction, even his brain could not stop them. At the moment, Xiang Han could only feel the pair of eyes staring at him. His heart beat wildly as he wondered: why is the target staring at me? Could it be that he has already realized I am only pretending to be asleep?
  
Lu Ze saw that his brows suddenly creased and thought that he was suffering from pain. He couldn't help raising his hand to stroke him comfortingly. He sighed and said, "Silly, how can you leave just like this, do you not even want that diploma anymore? Are you planning on throwing away your future?"
  
Xiang Han: "!!!! What's happening?"
  
"You worked so hard to get into A University but because of me, gave up everything. Is it worth it?" Lu Ze's fingers slowly slid towards his ears and pinched his earlobe.
  
Xiang Han almost choked, he weakly asked the system: [Little nine. Haven't we broken up already?]
  
System: [According to my analysis, he probably wants to reconcile your love.}
  
Xiang Han was stunned: [But I only ate instant noodles and haven't even done anything yet?]
  
Lu Ze's fingertips had moved to his lips, slowly tracing the shape, he gently pressed against the slightly dry lips. Xiang Han could not help but tremble, half of his body had gone numb.
  
Lu Ze was reminded of the bright red color of blood. His face suddenly became dark again and his voice turned cold. "Rest assured, I am here. Zhao Handong will not be able to do anything to you."
  
After saying this, he paused before continuing in a helpless tone: "In the future, don't think too much and decide things by yourself. Even when I'm at the bottom, I am still capable of taking care of you." After a while, he whispered again: "I'll go get your medicine and some porridge on the way back."


Xiang Han couldn't stay still anymore and swiftly got up the moment Lu Ze left. Letting out a breath, Xiang Han's face was extremely bitter: "Little nine, this target is a bit scary."
  
The system slowly swallowed: [I think he seems to know that you were pretending to be sleeping.]
  
Xiang Han: "That's even scarier..."
  
System: [Compared to this, what I am more concerned about is how you didn't recognize him, sir.]
  
"Ah? I couldn't see him clearly at the bar and the information you gave me was all in text only. There were no images or pictures." Xiang Han innocently explained.
  
System: [You did not receive the memories of the original host?]
  
"Nope." Xiang Han was stunned.
  
System: [...There seems to be a problem. Mr. Xiang, I probably have to leave for a while.]
  
"Can you not?" Xiang Han panicked: "What if the target comes back again at this time?"
  
System: [...] What on earth are you afraid of?
  
Although Xiang Han kept begging, the system mercilessly left him. Xiang Han could only curl up in bed, carefully watching the door.
  
The target does not seem like a normal person. They had already broken up yet he still kept touching him. Didn't the script say that he only loved the protagonist? Ah, he had a headache...
  
Thinking about this, Xiang Han unwittingly fell asleep. When Lu Ze came back, he saw him curled into a ball, holding the quilt in his hands which was full of bite marks and saliva.
  
Lu Ze frowned and put the box of food and medicine on the table. Walking forward, he gently tucked the arm that was exposed into the quilt, then covered him properly.
  
Seeing the tooth marks, he lifted his hand to lightly touch Xiang Han's forehead. He felt helpless and distressed: "If it hurts, why didn't you press the bell? It's not hygienic to bite the quilt."
  
After waking, Xiang Han felt a hand stroking his forehead. He immediately hugged the person tightly and sobbed, "Dad, you finally came to see me..." and finally came to give me money. Any longer and your son would have starved to death.
  
Lu Ze froze and suddenly remembered Xiang Han saying that his father had died when he was six years old.
  
It was so sad to Xiang Han 'crying' that Lu Ze was not willing to withdraw his hand but continued to pat him comfortingly and said, "Be good."
  
This wasn't his father. His dad's voice was not that good and he would only hit him on his head and shout at him, "So, how many times have you starved to death this year?"
  
He carefully opened his eyes and saw the pair of dark and beautiful eyes. He was immediately petrified, only regaining his senses after a while before stiffly saying: "Lu- Lu Ze ..."
  
"Yeah." Lu Ze said bleakly and felt that he was probably feeling embarrassed so he didn't say much.
  
He turned to get a bowl of porridge and then returned to the bed. He scooped a spoonful and blew on it before sending some into Xiang Han's mouth. Not a word was spoken.
  
Xiang Hang just wanted to say 'I can do it myself' but he was glared at and stopped himself in time.
  
In the end, he did not know what Lu Ze was trying to do and was so scared that he ate the whole bowl nervously, not even daring to savor the taste.
  
After he had finished eating, he finally gathered his courage. "Lu Ze, thank you for taking me to the hospital. However, we have already broken up."
  
Regardless of what Lu Ze wanted to do, he only needs to adapt accordingly. According to the script, they would first break up then reconcile, this process definitely can't be wrong.
  
When Lu Ze heard this, his face suddenly sank. Putting down the bowl loudly on the table, he turned around and walked towards him, step by step. He was staring at Xiang Han with a dark expression.
  
Xiang Han's heart jumped and suddenly tensed. W-w-w... What does he want to do?
